"If art begins with inspiration, then animals are what inspire my
art!
"For me, it is my mission to capture the life essence of every animal
I paint. To take the opportunity to "freeze frame" that unique being
so that my audience can reach out and almost feel the softness of
feather or fur, the dampness of a nose or tongue, to take in the
beauty without being disturbed by movement. I want to celebrate their
presence in our world, their simplicity and complexity. They are
each as different as a snowflake and that is what is most important
for me to capture in a portrait.
"The comfort and joy they bring is unconditional. It gives me great
satisfaction to be able to capture their spirit in commissioned portraits.
I enjoy working with my clients and their "significant animals," hear
the funny stories, see the relationship first hand, and then go back
to the studio and translate all of the information and feelings into
art.
"I am truly blessed to be able to live my two true passions — animals
and art! " |
